| Description | Report titled 'Further Work on Recruiting Centre Tests.' (no. 211) by Philip E. Vernon.
The report presents a description of a battery of four tests used in army recruiting centres. One of which was the Spelling and Abstraction test, the contents and results of which are explained in the report. The test has been trialed in H.M.S. Duke, and the report further describes how the tests can be adapted for use by children, specifically in Scottish primary schools. Upon various statistical analyses, the report concludes the test batteries to be ready for print and use both within the recruiting centres, as well as for civilians, including children. |
